THE DAY WE DO NOT CELEBRATE

One jolly day in not July,
John Adams said long years gone by,
This day, that makes people free,
VIII be the peoples jubilee;
With games, guns, sports, and shows display ed
With bells, pomp, bonfires, and parade.
Der all this land, from shore to shore,
From this time forth forever more
The years passed on and by and by,
Mems hearts grew cold in hot July.
And one New England Mayor said:
of rockets l am sore afraid
And who sends one up ablaze
I'll send him up for twenty days"
Then said Mayor ODay McQuade,
"Thayre az no made fur no parade"
And Mayor Hans Won Schwartzenmeyer
Proclaimed I'll hat me no bonter.7
Said Mayor Baptste Raphael
No make-a ring a data bell"
by gar, said Mayor Jean Crapaud,
"ZIs July games viii has to CO.
And Mayor Knud Christofferrssonn
Cried "Djeath to him who fires gjunn,7
At last, said Mayor Wun Lung See,
Too muchee hoop-la bobberee!7
And so the ankee holiday
In 1890 passed away.

Why the Funeral Was POSTPONED,

The funeral services of the late Mrs.
Colonel Potter will not take place to-
day as at first announced, owing to the
fact that they would interfere with the
rattle of a fine doubleba shotgun,
which takes place at the Colonel's
Office to-day. 1t is but justice to say
that the rattle was arranged for before
her decease.- Dakota Bell.

!>kslFra Farm Labor

No idea has done more to repress farm
ing progress than the idea that II farm
laborer need not be skilled-that brute
strength is the main requisite. This never
was true, and is less so now than ever be-
fore since improved machinery has to be
handled. But even in handling such old
fashioned implements rs the AK and the
hoe efficiency depends as much upon skill
as upon muscle. 1t is by no means the
largest or strongest hired man who will do
the most work in a day. And when help
is hired that IS entirely unused TO our
methods of farming its inexperIence greatly
detracts from it's value. The truth is that
farming is trade that has to be learned if
The workers at 1t would be effective. 1t re-
quires knowledge and skill in larger num-
Der of things than most other kinds of
business. In fact, II is never fully learned.
The oldest and most successful farmer is
generally the most ready to learn some
thing new about his business, and II is
usually this habit which he has kept up
through his life that has given him his sue
cess. That farmer shows only his limited
idea of his business who thinks that he
knows so much about it that he cannot
learn anything more. And, though skill
in farm help is desirable, it is sometimes
better in rough work to have green hand
willing TO do as he is told, and to learn,
han one self conceited with the idea that
he knows everything already. Much de-
ponds upon employers. Some are them
selves so conceited that few hired men are
willing to try to learn from them.

In blowing, cultivating, or any heavy
work three horses should be used wherever
possible. 1t is poor policy TO pay men
high wages and then having them idle be-
cause the team is inefficient. Most two
horse implements dc more efficient work
when three good horses are attached TO
them, although our best American plows
do better work with less draught than those
of foreign manufacture.

A TYPOGRAPHICAL error appeared in
the Portland Sunday Times a few
years ago which resulted more happily
than is usual in such cases. In an
nouncing church supper and con-
cert, the word concert was perverted
to dance. A young man who read
the item and was attracted by the
dance strolled into the vestry. Fe be.
came so much interested that he after
wards attended church service there,
professed religion, and is now highly
esteemed clergyman.

THE complete skeleton of man and
the blade of an officers sword were
found a few days ago on a portion of the
battlefield of Antietam by a party of
Charleston (W Va.) fishermen. The
body was in the midst of thicket of
young trees, which probably accounts
for its being overlooked for so long q
time. There being no clew as to the

Corn loves hot weather; but il toe dry
the leaves curl and the corn begins tassel-
hing prematurelv. Even with plenty of
rains afterwards, the yield Of such corn is
decreased, and there is apt to be more
grain not filed out on the cob. Probably
the effect of unnatural extremes of weather
is TO divorce the tassel and silk, so that
they do not put out at nearly the same time
as they naturally should.

Cross ByeediHU IIO1s,

Many farmers get the idea that they can
raise better hogs by combining the good
qualities of two or more breeds In ac-
cordance with this view, they one year use
Poland boar, the next a Berkshire, and
the next perhaps Jersey Red. Some
even go SO far as to have n rotation of the
hog crop by beginning with the first and
going through the series again. Little, if
anything, Is gained and much is lost by
this practice. The hogs are not uniform
In size, form, color, general appearance, or
in ability to fatten. When a man comes
to sell them he can not offer an even lot of
hogs similarly iine in all respects. The
buyer l. not SO we'll pleased when he sees
them as he IL by an even lot of any one
bread. Another important point Is deyel.
oped when The farmer comes to pick ont
young sows for the next years breeding
If he has bred evenly he can get an even
lots of sows the best suited TO his idaa of
type of that breed, and n boar can be
chosen that will suit all. Where mixing
has been INDUCED in the sous chosen will
represent several types, and the boar can
be we'll adapted 10 only a few of the sows.
A man gets some Inspiration for better
breeding if he has bred to type always
earned in his mind,' and annually repro
duced in the pen with increasing accuracy.
There Is, of course, something to be said
on the other side breeding to fine, or
breeding IN and in to establish or preserve
n type. For the practical production of
pork there Is no need of doing fnncy breed
ing. SO many ralsers of the standard
breeds can be found within a short journey
of almost any farmer that he need not lack
for boar quite similar to his "type" with
Ont breeding to one closely related.

Marvellous Little MoYie

The Moxie craze is the latest, and it bids
fair to last, as the physicians say it takes
the place Of stimulants and tonics, leaving
no reaction. Consequently its place can
not be filled. The medical world, it Is said,
have been waiting for some one to discover
its like. as stimulants are only a temporary
relief, and are eventually as destructive to
nerve force a. overwork and exhaustion.
Stimulants and medicines never cure uer-
vousness or nervous exhaustion. 1t is said
the Moxie does at once Stops the appetite
for liquors as we'll satisfies the nervous sys-
tenn as well, at once, leaving only the best
results.
